Universities: Self-Audit Tool for Education Premises

Legionella compliance for schools, colleges, universities and other education premises is an essential organisational risk management process that must be carefully managed. The consequences of getting it wrong can be serious indeed, particularly for the individuals involved and the responsible organisations and their staff.

Owners, operators, facilities managers and staff of such education premises have clearly defined obligations that must be fulfilled if they are to remain compliant with the law governing the control and management of Legionella and Legionnaires' disease related risks in schools, colleges, universities and similar education premises.

Our free Legionella compliance self-audit tool has been developed by our education sector specialists specifically for facilities managers, staff, operators and managers of schools, colleges, universities and similar education premises. This self-audit tool is quick and easy to complete and will rapidly identify whether your organisation is compliant with current legislation.

Our self-audit tool deals with compliance under the Health & Safety Executive's Approved Code of Practice & Guidance (ACoP) L8 - "Legionnaires' disease: The control of legionella bacteria in water systems". This document, often simply referred to as "L8" forms the basis around which the control of legionella related risks are managed in schools, colleges and universities. It is enforceable under the following legislation:

• Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999
• Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1999
• Health & Safety at Work Act 1974

Our "Legionella Compliance Self-Audit Checklist for Schools, Colleges & Universities" is currently only available to recognised education sector professionals, managers and operators. To receive your copy please complete and submit the following form.
